WIRC Celebrates 50 Years with New Logo

(Macomb, Illinois, February 6, 2023) – This year, Western Illinois Regional Council (WIRC) is celebrating its 50th Anniversary. Formed in 1973, WIRC is based in Macomb, Illinois, but their services and programs help people in multiple western Illinois counties. As part of the year-long celebration of their golden anniversary, the Agency has updated their branding to accurately communicate their mission.

The new WIRC logo clearly displays the team’s mission of helping people and communities, and symbolically shows the bridge connecting community development improvements and social service programs. The “huggy heart” graphic in the center is used by permission from the National Community Action Agency Partnership, of which WIRC is a member, and also represents the compassion of WIRC’s team members.

The WIRC website will be updated to reflect the new branding and make it easier for the public to quickly find information about or apply for programs. This year, WIRC also plans to announce innovative services and exciting partnerships that they hope will make a positive impact in people’s lives.

WIRC partners with people and communities to improve lives and neighborhoods. Their main office is located at 133 West Jackson Street in Macomb, Illinois. To apply for their programs, call WIRC at 309-837-2997. Information can also be found on their website at wirpc.org or by finding them on social media. WIRC is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
